Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What they're looking for:
You’ll have 5+ years’ experience managing a portfolio of clients within a digital agency environment, with your performance measured against client retention and account growth, rather than simply project delivery or client satisfaction.
You should be able to demonstrate clear examples of an account you have successfully retained or saved when it was at risk, as well as an account you have successfully grown.
You’ll also ideally have:

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Strong knowledge of digital marketing, with enough hands-on understanding of areas such as SEO, Paid Media, Social, Content and Digital PR to confidently discuss strategy with clients.
- Experience managing senior client relationships and handling challenging commercial conversations.
- A strong understanding of commercial and performance metrics, with the ability to translate marketing results into meaningful business outcomes.
- Experience within sectors such as ecommerce, B2B lead generation, beauty/wellbeing or financial services would be advantageous.
- A proactive, commercially minded approach with a genuine focus on helping clients grow and demonstrating the value of their agency partnership.
This role would suit an established Account Director who enjoys being much more than an account handler.
